An avid knitter and manager
of a yarn store in New York City, Caitlyn finds herself at loose ends after
getting dumped by her long-time, live-in boyfriend. What better way to move on
then to find a man like the old-school movie stars that she dreams about? But
her first attempt at online dating is a disaster. Especially when the date
turns out to be the new renter of a room in her apartment.

Wall Street powerhouse Ben
needs a place to crash while his condo is being renovated. Love is the last
thing on his mind since he’s just getting over a breakup. But he can’t resist a
challenge, especially one like his prim and proper new roommate. A do-gooder
with a heart of gold, Caitlyn is spearheading a fight to save an old theater,
while Ben is working for the developer trying to tear it down. Sparks will fly,
but they may not be enough to ignite big-screen romance . . .

EXCERPT

Ben
was living his worst nightmare. His worst fear come true—he’d gone and hurt
Caitlyn, the one person he never wanted to see in pain.

But
she was standing before him now and pain was clearly written all over her
pretty features. He’d done that. Way to go, asshole.

She
was waiting for him to say something. Anything. But for the life of him, he
couldn’t think of anything to say. Nothing sounded right. His brain had
temporarily shut down along with the rest of his body, and he stood there in
the center of the kitchen like he was shell-shocked.

Because
he was!

The
L-word. She’d used the L-word. That was all he could think, over and over, as
the paralysis spread. Why would she do that? They weren’t supposed to feel
anything for one another. Friendship, maybe, but not this. And why the hell
would she want a relationship with him?

Because
she loves you.

No,
because she thinks this is love. Could she really not see how wrong he was for
her? She couldn’t have forgotten about their first date, not to mention all the
other times he’d managed to drive her insane over the past few weeks.

He
didn’t do real relationships. Not with her, not with anyone. She knew that. Or
he’d thought she’d known that. It was obvious. They’d spelled out the rules.

A
groan escaped his frozen chest, and he saw Caitlyn flinch as though he’d struck
her. Gregory was right; she was too naïve and too sweet for this kind of
relationship. He should have known she would read more into it than was there.
She was a woman who screamed commitment and destiny, not fuck buddy and
short-lived fling.

Of
course she would confuse intimacy with emotions. And that’s all this was. It
explained his own confusion, too—why he was so confused over what should be a
simple business deal. Why he was jealous of Mr. Perfect tonight. They’d both
let themselves get carried away. But he at least knew the difference between
this short-term connection and the type of relationship that Caitlyn wanted and
deserved.

He
would destroy her in the long run. How could she not see that?

This
was his fault. He should have seen this coming. He should have listened to
Gregory and put a stop to it earlier. Hell, he shouldn’t have started anything
in the first place. But none of that
mattered now. It was too late to turn back the clock and do the right thing. He
had to make the best of the situation. Caitlyn was still staring at him with
impossibly wide eyes, tears threatening to spill.

He
couldn’t think of any way to make this right. What would Gregory do? Oh hell,
what would Cary Grant do? They would never have gotten themselves into this
situation. He was on his own.
